IN THE CRUCIBLE Tales from Real Life (Classic Reprint).

Excerpt from In the Crucible: Tales From Real Life As gold in a crucible, so are the just proved in the furnace Of humiliation. In the Crucible, then has aptly been chosen as the title Of the work; for it is in life's crucible, under the warming influence Of divine love, that the soul is refined and purified Of its dross. The alchemist Of Old hesitated at no sacrifice in quest of a substance that would change the baser metals into gold, and our Blessed Saviour, on Calvary's height, taught His loved ones, though it cost Him His own Precious Blood, the secret and wondrous power Of turning suffering into merit, and Of making the sorrow and afflictions Of time the treasure and glories Of eternity.
